You know that every time you eat, you choose how to influence your health – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
This comprehensive approach to nutrition empowers you to transform your life and become the master of your journey toward optimum wellness.
Step One: Your Journey Begins
The Comprehensive Nutritional Intake (CNI) looks at your body and helps you to understand who you are and why your symptoms or conditions have manifested in the way they have. It enables you to begin to define your goals and helps Amy understand your relationship with food and how your current lifestyle dictates your food choices.
The Advanced Nutri-Body® Analysis offers an in-depth analysis of the nutritional deficiencies, excesses and weaknesses that create a state of imbalance in your health. It helps Amy to form a personalized nutritional program that maps your journey to optimum wellness.
Step Two: Building Your Nutritional Foundation
Amy presents you with your customized Nutritional Assessment and Recommendations and offers suggestions on how to incorporate them into your daily routine. These recommendations clean up your existing diet, correct nutrient deficiencies and excesses, ensure balanced macronutrient (protein, essential fat, carbohydrate) ratios, support natural and healthy weight loss, strengthen the liver and digestion, balance the endocrine system, alleviate symptoms and correct persistent health conditions.
These recommendations offer longer-term value; they contain vital information on preventative health and how to slow the aging process. This nutritional foundation is body, mind and soul-awakening as it allows you to use the power of foods to optimize your biochemistry. Here you truly see how the slightest adjustments to your diet make a significant difference in how you feel!
Step Three: Fueling Your Metabolic Type
Knowing your metabolic type takes the guess-work out of what you should eat so that you can continue on your journey to optimum wellness. Together we will determine what your metabolic type is and which foods in which ratios produce the maximum amount of energy for you, according to your genetics. This will ensure that the foods you are choosing are just right for your biochemistry.
When your biochemistry is balanced, you will experience long and lasting energy, mental sharpness, balanced emotions and a return to your ideal weight. Your meals will also leave you feeling satisfied, satiated and free of cravings.
Step Four: Feeding Your Ayurvedic Constitution
Ayurveda is an ancient form of healing that originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. The word Ayurveda is Sanskrit for "the science of life." It is a system that teaches you how to achieve balance through diet, herbs, exercise and lifestyle choices based on your unique body type (dosha). According to this science, when imbalances exist in the body, mind and spirit, disharmony results and "dis-ease" develops. The purpose of Ayurveda is to eliminate blockages and restore balance so that disease can be prevented and wellness can prevail.
In this step, you learn about your dosha and the specific lifestyle choices you can make to keep your body type in balance.
Step Five: Soulful Nourishment
This step offers an incredible opportunity for breakthroughs in nutrition and wellness! Soulful nourishment takes many different forms: overcoming emotional eating (using the Demartini Method™), dissolving body image issues, managing stressors in your life that are preventing you from eating well, learning how to eat consciously, creating a sacred table, using food to enhance and awaken your spirit, tapping into the meaning of food and how it influences your life, or helping you overcome patterns of "self-sabotage" that prevent you from successfully carrying on with your nutritional lifestyle.
Eating is one thing, but nourishing yourself is another. It takes soulful nourishment to manifest true physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being.
Step Six: Seasonal Eating
At this stage, you learn how to maintain balance throughout the year, prevent the common cold and flu, listen to your body, stay in tune with Mother Nature, connect to the earth and environment by eating seasonally, create variety from season to season and the importance of adjusting your lifestyle as the seasons turn.
There is a perfection and purpose to the foods that grow each season and having an awareness of that magnificence is an integral part of your nutritional journey. Once you learn how to transition your nutritional lifestyle with the seasons you will have confidence and the know how to maintain your nutritional lifestyle indefinitely. This is when you truly break free from diet mentality and embrace nutritional consciousness.
Step 7: Evaluating Your Success
One of the high points of the journey occurs when you stop, look back and realize just how far you have come. We measure your progress by completing and comparing a new Advanced Nutri-Body® Analysis with the one you completed when you started your journey.
You will discover just how much you have corrected nutrient deficiencies, strengthened weak organs, revitalized your immune system and alleviated health conditions. At this time you will know if you have actualized your health goals and created a healthier lifestyle for yourself. Here you can set new goals and travel with certainty on your infinite journey to wellness.
